Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:42 pmNice tree....... 
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:42 pmI immediately started humming "Laugh, Kookburra laugh, ...
That's a great shot, good seperation from the background and terrific detail, nice and sharp and composition's good too, which is hard with bird stuff... This is a good one...

Lovely bokeh rel. Background colour really enhances the portrait I would however suggest pulling back just a tad on exposure (on the bird) IMO the bird is a little overexposed
cheers

Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 9:25 amNice shot!!!
I took some closeups of kookas at the wildlife park last week.. and spent an age struggling with the areas of sunlight/shade..
Should have just slapped on the SB800 and used fill flash!!! d'oh!

Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 10:59 amThank you everyone - Birdy, high praise from you
Yep - fill flashed the buggery out of it 80-200, with the SB600, beer cup and contraceptive cap...... that cup and cap combination is fantastic for those of you who haven't tried it yet.
Mark - tell the truth - you asked finch what the bird was didn't you
Hugs everyone

Interesting....does the contraceptive cap have to be in new status
Or is it depending how soft a flash you desire

Actually, how else do you think I got that soft creamy bokeh??????

If you use soft flash it falls off, you gotta use HARD light....
Nice pic Rel, that must be some contraption hanging off your camera. Do you have to go into the chemists and say, "No, really, they are for my camera..."
Have to got a photo of your setup?
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 3:43 pmSorry Raskill - kind of an in-house joke - the beer cup is the Gary Fong Lightsphere 2, and the contraceptive cap is the opaque snap on internal dome Just my sick sense of humour - recommend it though - bloody brilliant system
